I'm an alcoholic and I'm terrified

I've been trying really hard to stop drinking, I binge drink and when I do it's a lot. Last night was a prime example where I downed 2 bottles of wine, a small vodka and 3 guns. All while my children were up, I was trashed by 5pm and ended up getting cocaine which I don't remember doing. My friend was here and I was rude to her kids, had a panic attack and she left. I continued to get wasted while the kids were in bed. I can't tell my parents as they think I have stopped, I have gone to my local alcohol support group, I have counselling, I am on the right meds and am supposed to be stable. There is a lot going on in my life, very stressful situation with my ex but that's no excuse. I feel sick and ashamed and I'm desperate to stop drinking but I dont know how. I did it for 9 months last year, but I just can't seem to get back there. I just hate myself so much and drinking takes away the pain and hurt. I'm lucky nothing happened and my friend was here to help and I love my children to death and would be destroyed if I lost them. Everything is such a mess and I just don't know if my life is worth living.

You are seemingly in a bad situation regarding your drinking, and drug use, so you do need to get some help now. Drink and drugs can wreck your mind and body big time.

Drinking alcohol does not blot out any pain and hurt, you might think it does at certain times, but then you are left being sick, and hungover later, and now, feeling morose and guilty all the time.

But all the alcoholic help places that you can go to, won't really register with you,Unless you can realise that there is only You,who can stop harming yourself with alcohol,/and drugs.
